ALAS!
the racoon comes out to play at a decent hour, an hour of which im still awake!
as i set up my super awesome new laptop, i hear my dogs bark... my ears perk up and my concentration grows intense.... i want to be sure that this is the real deal, and not just another false alarm of the dogs seeing their own shadows.... i then hear the sound of the catfood bowl falling 5 feet down from the fence and onto the concrete. The screak of plastic clashing and catfood scattering echoes through the neighborhood, yet I alone am the only person who will revenge this act!
The masked bandit continues to munch on its chaotic feat while i peer out my bathroom window, enemy in plain site and perfect range for my glock airsoft pistol..... BLAST! The screen is on the window.... i cant fire through it, and theres no port holes (or just holes) to stick the mussel of my cannon through to send this racoon to its resting place!
i must think of a new plan, and quick!
after 30 seconds i come up with an engenious plan..... i will load up my pistol, grab a flashlight and charge around the front of the house to the side and unload my magazine on the enemy!
So i struggle to load my ammunition to the magazine.... trembeling hands scattering projectiles due to the anticipation of my destiny which awaits me....
I then proceed to sprint around the house as stealthy as i can, so my target lay prone for as long as possible.... and then i see it! My enemy perched on the fence raises its head to see the onslaut of bullets pouring it from my general direction! I quickly disgard the flashlight as my amazing night vision takes over, and my barrage of blue 6mm bb's find their way through the air and onto the racoons body.....
But there was one point i overlooked... the racoon's nappy ass furr coat....... Damnit! my bullets are deflected off the coat and into the narrow space between my house and the neighbors. As i sprint towards the beast and unload my weapon, the beast turns around and jumps off the fence , sprinting down into hte neighbors back yard...... "click click click" i hear, as i realize im out of bullets. And the racoon is out of range......
if one lesson is to be learned from this, it is definately not to leave natural critters who originally inhabitted the area construction workers destroyed to build your house on........ It is the truth that i NEED MORE FIREPOWER!
to be continued.....
